A Dell reseller is an authorized partner of Dell Computers. As a partner, a reseller can purchase Dell products at discounted prices and also has access to many other benefits, including a dedicated sales contact and no minimum purchasing requirements. Registering your company to be considered as a Dell authorized partner is a quick and painless process---a small amount of effort that can help your business grow by leaps and bounds if approved.
